Majestic Turbo put new bearings in my HX-40 under warranty. When I got it back I noticed both the turbine wheel and compressor wheel had fairly bad housing rub. I figured I wouldn't bother putting it back on anyway. It was scrap in my eyes. It sat in the basement for 4 months. I figured what the hell. Put it on and try it. Swapping a turbo is easy enough.
After about a mile I noticed heavy blue smoke coming from the tailpipe when accelerating and the EGT's were hot.
Sure enough, It's leaking oil into turbine side of the turbo. It started to smoke once the exhaust housing got hot enough. Only an ounce or so of oil leaked.
At least it didn't dump oil on the compressor side. I'd be livid if it coated my intercooler with an oil mist.
Should have left the POS on the shelf. Hindsight is wonderful.
Nice Rebuild Majestic !
